[QUOTE="singig, post: 7963426, member: 93672"]Hello, I need your help to identify this coin , it has 23 mm and 6.4 grams. [ATTACH=full]1380566[/ATTACH] The emperor should be Postumus , I looked also at other gallic emperors , they don't seems to have this PAX AVG reverse. The right side the of obverse legend should be .......STVMVS P F AVG, but not sure. Postumus has only one antoninianus with Pax runnig left , RIC 78 , this type is generally made in silver , very rare in billon, average weight 3.2 g. The closets coin I found is this dupondius (lightweight Double Sestertius 24 mm and 11.41 g) RIC 218 , the reverse is a die match for me. [URL]https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=5494786[/URL] [ATTACH=full]1380567[/ATTACH] I would like to know you opinions , if is Postumus ?, and what denomination is it ? Thanks![/QUOTE]
